YoutubeDr. James R. Berenson, MD Institute for Myeloma & Bone Cancer Research Interview date: September 6, 2013
On this week's show, Dr. James R. Berenson of the Institute for Myeloma & Bone Cancer Research discusses his unique approach to use myeloma therapies in a variety of combinations that looks at dosing, ordering and scheduling to both treat the myeloma while at the same time addressing quality of life issues. He discusses how resistance to one type of myeloma therapy doesn't necessarily mean resistance to others in that same drug class. He also discusses how his Institute and clinic enable him to investigate new targets in a shorter time frame. The live mPatient Myeloma Radio podcast with Dr. Berenson
